Astrid Sees All by Natalie Standiford
4.0
Astrid Sees All takes place in NYC in the early 1980s. Phoebe is a recent college grad, who is not sure what she wants to do with her life. She does know she wants to be friends with Carmen, a college classmate. Phoebe wants to associate with people who are famous or at least rich. However, she is also grieving the loss of her father whom she adored.
I enjoyed the writing style and most of the story. There are times things were outlandish. The events in the end were a bit much to believe, but I know part of it was based on real events in NYC. It was Phoebe's role in it that didn't seem possible. I never felt I knew the characters more than surface level. Overall it was a quick and interesting read.
If you enjoy references to 80s culture, stories in NYC, and studies of female friendships this is a good book for you. Look for it on April 6th when it hits shelves!
Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC!
